Music Video(s) of the Week, part 31: Heaven can Drive Transparent Thoughts on the Interstate
From:  8th-circuit.com
Hello again and welcome to another episode of Music Video(s) of the Week! This time around, I am going to take into account the fact that this is Thanksgiving weekend, and thus do something completely unrelated to Thanksgiving—you know, because you have probably already overdosed on holiday cheer by now.

Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy (MGSP), directed and starred in by Giacomo Talamini, is a nonprofit, fan-made Metal Gear Solid movie.  Over a span of 8 years, Talamini has worked on the project and, although it has been a long process, full of mishaps and just plain bad luck, the film was completed.  And it is pretty freakin’ sweet.   read more Read Full Story

From:  8th-circuit.com
Left 4 Dead 2 galore today! While I still have yet to pick up a copy due to not yet being best buds with Valve's PR department and/or being a poor bastard (see Contact and Donate respectively), it's definitely on my "To-Do as Soon as I Rob a Bank" list. Two new pieces of pieces of L4D2 to peruse, one an easter egg of sorts and another a meta-foreshadowing of future DLC? Ponder with me below: read more Read Full Story

It stars an iconic character and is one of Nintendo's personal properties, an instant formula fo... Read Full Story
